Why I love this day:
1. Jared proposed to me on this day seven years ago. I asked him last night if he knew what he was getting into when he proposed. He responded with a "yes." Not sure if that was a good or bad "yes." ;)
2. There is red and pink everywhere. I like bright colors. These are much better than the colors of Halloween...orange and black are depressing...red and pink are happy.
3. It's a great time to say, "I love you" in ways that you may not always do. For example, Addi probably knows she's our princess by now, but we totally sent her to daycare today with a sticker on her dress that said, "Valentine's Princess." I think she knew that sticker said something special...she seemed to have all her princess-like qualities in play today. :)
4. You can eat candy for lunch and get by with it. I didn't do this, but maybe next year when I'm not pregnant and don't have a doctor's appointment in the afternoon, I'll decide to do this. And just to reiterate, no, we are not planning to be pregnant every year. :)
Why I don't love this day:
1. It's a complete commercial holiday
2. People who already feel alone, are reminded how lonely they are. I've been there (pre-Jared days) and it stinks. Thankfully though, it's just another day in the grand scheme of days. Tomorrow will be the 15th and exactly 2 months before taxes are due, so you may not want to wish this day away just yet. ;)
